Galaxy Quest reviews

Galaxy Quest holds a 7.1/10 average from 2,647 TMDB ratings.

If you are thinking this sounds like a spoof of Star Trek you're on the right track. Tim Allen (Home Improvement, Last Man Standing) adds his brilliant comedic contribution to this star studded cast which includes Sigourney Weaver, Tony Shalhoub, Alan Rickman, and Sam Rockwell.
